[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-5618) HTTP Authentication Basic header is case sensitive

HTTP Authentication Basic header is case sensitive -------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-5618 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5618 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Web (Undertow) Affects Versions: 9.0.2.Final Environment: Wildfly 9.0.1.Final. Reporter: Karl Nicholas Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Labels: authorization, http, security-constraint I wrote client code to login to a rest service with security-constraint. The client code must use an HTTP header of Authorization: Basic [Base 64 username:password]. If 'Basic' is sent as uppercase 'BASIC' it didn't work, but if sent as 'Basic' then it did work. I don't think the HTTP header fields should be case sensitive. More info on HTTP authorization: http://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/
